Apple & Raisin Crumble with Cinnamon

I made this one especially for Graham. He loves baked dishes, be they savoury or sweet. He especially loves the crispy bits around the edges.

I actually prefer the crumble cooked a little longer, but there was such a gorgeous smell permeating the house and Graham got to the oven before me. He just couldn't wait and declared it ready.

We had a bit of a debate around whether we should have our crumble with custard or ice cream. I really didn't mind, because I knew it was going to be delicious, so I let Graham choose and ice cream it was.

The recipe is a bit mixed in calculations. I much prefer using cup sizes when cooking now, it just makes sense, it is so much easier. However, I got to the butter and was stuck, because we don't measure butter in sticks and it is awkward to do.

Our packs of butter come in 250g blocks, which makes it easy to cut the portion you want. Sometimes there are even guide marks on the butter pack itself, showing you where to cut. If we need a trickier measurement, then we weigh the butter. So stick with me through the double calculations :)

Looks delicious, and I can understand wanting to get to it sooner! Funny about measurements--since I had my bakery, I've become much fonder of measuring in grams, which seems so much more exact! And no cups to bother with :)

I love a good crispy crumble - just like yours please! I agree that cups are easier than weighing - in Australia it is usually cup measurements but we still measure butter in grams - and I agree that the guidelines on the packets are very helpful!

Hi, I've never made crumble like this before but it looks and sounds yummy so I'm gonna give it a try today. I'll post a photo of it on my blog later (with an acknowledgment of course)! Thanks for adding me to your blog list BTW :D
